Can This Really Be a One Star Dou Huang? (Seven-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter)

In the Back Mountain Forbidden Ground, in the villa where Yang Shan used to live.

Yang Shan was being served by six maids.

Before long, Protector Wu rushed over in a great hurry:

"Oh dear, Mister E! Little Wù was in seclusion and was completely unaware that I could not come to greet you. Please forgive me Mister E!"

Yang Shan waved his hand. "All of you, get out!"

The six maids quickly left.

Yang Shan Dark Soul Mist to ensure that their conversation would not be known to others.

Upon seeing Yang Shan unleash the Dark Soul Mist, Protector Wu gasped in shock. "Mister E, your Dark Soul Mist... it's actually the Earth Chapter!"

It should be noted that even though Protector Wu is Earth Grade Protector, the Dark Soul Mist he uses is only of the Mysterious Chapter.

His subordinate Lian Qiao, Dou Emperor Soul Envoy, only used Dark Soul Mist at the Yellow Tier.

Everyone in the Soul Hall knows how good the Dark Soul Mist, but the Earth Chapter requires a whopping 300,000 Contribution Points, and its outrageous cultivation requirements make even Protector Wu hesitate.

Although the NPCs in the Soul Hall also rely mainly on Pure Soul Energy, it is much more difficult for them to increase their Soul Strength than for the players.

For example, Protector Wu has been a member of the Soul Hall for over a hundred years, but his Soul Strength is only at the Spirit Realm Early Stage.

The most crucial point is that Yang Shan, a mere Soul Envoy, actually possesses the Soul Strength of Spirit Realm Middle Stage and has 300,000 Contribution Points, which he can exchange for the Earth Chapter "Dark Soul Mist".

What does this mean? It means that Yang Shan's identity as a soul general is absolutely genuine!

Protector Wu hadn't completely trusted Yang Shan's identity before, after all, it's always good to be cautious.

However, Protector Wu still decided to treat Yang Shan as a future spirit.

After all, the other party's cultivation level is limited. If they really have some evidence, it's not too late to turn against them later.

Protector Wu is now extremely grateful for his decision back then.

Having managed to latch onto the coattails of a Soul General, wouldn't Protector Wu Wu's position rise even higher? "Little Wù, how much of your mission quota are you still short?"

Protector Wu awkwardly, "There were some mishaps before, and we're still short about 100,000."

Yang Shan nodded.

The "mishaps" that Protector Wu mentioned were all caused by him.

It's all thanks to those two Soul Accumulation Pearl from the Azure Cloud Association Branch; otherwise, Yang Shan wouldn't have known how the Soul Hall increased Soul Strength! Yang Shan: "Only a hundred thousand or so. Now that the internal war within the Jia Ma Empire is inevitable, I must congratulate you in advance on the successful completion of your mission!"

Protector Wu adopted a sincere and earnest demeanor:

"This is all thanks to Mister E. If Mister E hadn't deliberately arranged for Yun Yun to go, this great battle would probably have been delayed for quite some time! Yun Yun is much more courageous than Yun Shan; she actually managed to pull this alliance together. Hehe!"

Yang Shan: "I came here this time to take advantage of the great battle and collect more souls. After all, I am relatively free."

Protector Wu: "Mister E, you can take it however you want. If there's anything you need Little Wù to do, just say the word!"

Yang Shan: "There's no need for that. When were you originally planning to make your move?"

Protector Wu laughed and said, "Take action? I won't take action. Let Yun Shan handle it himself. After all, we in the Soul Hall should keep a low profile as much as possible when we do things. However, I should help Yun Shan in the shadows."

Yang Shan nodded. "Yes, it's only right to lend a hand, but there's no rush. You should continue to hide. I'm itching for a good fight lately!"

The Soul Hall members were all afraid of being exposed, but Yang Shan wasn't! Because that's how the plot arranged by Tian Yao Company came about! The Soul Hall had its shadow behind all Four Great Empires; which player didn't know that? If other forces in Central Plains really came to cause trouble for the Soul Hall because of the internal strife in the Four Great Empires, then the one with a headache should be the Soul Hall Master, Hun Miesheng.

Could it be that if something happens to the Soul Hall, he, One Star Dou Huang, has to take the blame? That's why Yang Shan is so fearless! But Protector Wu is unaware of these things.

He is very naive.

They simply believed that he was still hiding his identity very well, and that no one except Yun Shan knew his true identity.

Protector Wu: "Mister E, there are quite a few powerful people on the Imperial Family side. Why don't Little Wù, go with you to protect you?"

It was fine before.

Protector Wu is now genuinely worried that Yang Shan might suffer some mishap.

Yang Shan is now his future!

Yang Shan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we don't need to help Yun Shan for the time being anyway. Let the Five Directions Alliance wear down Misty Cloud Sect a bit more before Yun Shan comes to us for help!"

Yun Shan had promised Yang Shan that if Yang Shan was willing to help, he would get double the credit! He could gain soul experience and also ask Yun Shan for benefits.

This is why Yang Shan has not yet appeared in public under his original identity.

If he doesn't want to benefit from both identities, why would he need to have two identities?

First, become the savior of the Misty Cloud Sect and plunge the Five Directions Alliance into despair.

Then become the savior of the Five Directions Alliance and plunge Yun Shan into despair! That's what it means to truly "control the overall situation"! Yang Shan quickly chose his target.

The "Resting Grass Forest" south of the Misty Cloud Sect.

This is one of the truly large resource points in the Jia Ma Empire.

Large areas of spiritual plants grow there, mainly perching grasses.

This herb is a key ingredient in the refining of many third- and fourth-grade pills, and even some Fifth-grade Pill require it.

Currently, the mainstream Alchemist among players are all around the third rank, with the better ones reaching the fourth rank.

Fifth Grade Alchemist is considered top-tier.

There are only five sixth-grade Alchemist in the entire server.

Yang Shan, Little Yao Xi, Xiao Aotian, Hao Yunqi, and Zhuang Youqian, the Liver Zhuang Youqian of the Hero King Manor.

Therefore, at this stage, this herb is highly sought after by Alchemist players.

The Resting Grass Forest was originally occupied by the Misty Cloud Sect, but just two days ago, Alchemist players from five different factions volunteered to forcibly seize the place.

The produce of Resting Grass Forest is now being supplied entirely to the five factions, making the Alchemist players of the Misty Cloud Sect furious.

As the mission was announced in Yun Shan, the Alchemist of the Misty Cloud Sect were all eager to take back Resting Grass Forest from the hands of the five forces!

Don't underestimate the stickiness of the Misty Cloud Sect players.

In terms of interaction, Tianyao provides players with a near-perfect experience.

The game will set difficulty levels for players, but as long as it doesn't involve NPCs from the original work, the difficulty will be within a controllable range.

Furthermore, many NPCs will actively seek out and interact with players, leading to a series of stories.

Not all NPCs in the Misty Cloud Sect are "villains".

Or, strictly speaking, the Misty Cloud Sect does not have any true "villains".

In the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigns supreme, so it is perfectly reasonable for Yun Shan to want to dominate the Jia Ma Empire.

Of all the Misty Cloud Sect, only the brain-dead Great Elder Yun Leng is somewhat annoying.

Most of the other NPCs are actually quite nice.

In recent versions, these NPCs from the Misty Cloud Sect have frequently interacted with players, leading to a series of stories.

In this process, players gain emotional support, companionship, and item rewards from NPCs.

No matter how complicated people's hearts are, once they enter the game, the vast majority of players are relatively pure.

Yun Yun is indeed wonderful, but she is like a mirage, making her difficult for players to attain.

In comparison, players will definitely cherish the NPCs who frequently appear around them, such as elders, peers, and even younger ones, more.

Especially in the last few days since the loss, a lot of NPCs in the Misty Cloud Sect have died.

Each of them has a certain degree of goodwill with many players in the Misty Cloud Sect.

Especially those deacons and elders at the Dou Ling and Dou Wang levels.

Although they are not stronger than the players right now.

However, when the Misty Cloud Sect players needed help the most, they provided selfless assistance, much like a teacher would to a student.

With the deaths of these NPCs, many players in the Misty Cloud Sect became enraged.

NPCs are, in the end, just data.

But if you were there in person, who could deny that the experience wasn't real?

Players experience this firsthand, and related code will be permanently stored in the player's memory and the server's database.

Isn't this what really happened?

Although the NPCs of the Misty Cloud Sect, just like those of the Jia Nan Academy, will have their favorability list scanned after they die, as long as there is a player on the list who has accepted the "resurrection" quest, the NPC will have a chance to be resurrected.

But it was also because of the deaths of these NPCs.

The players of the Misty Cloud Sect went completely berserk! They were determined to take revenge on the NPCs who had been kind to them or provided companionship! So although Yun Yun took some NPCs and players away from the Misty Cloud Sect, it only accounted for about 10%.

In addition, Tian Yao Company specially arranged for an extra 30% increase in rewards for the Misty Cloud Sect's Faction Blood War mission, which led the vast majority of players to stay.

When Yang Shan set off, he even overheard two players at the Dou Wang level talking to each other.

Yang Shan was somewhat familiar with one of them.

Tang Baizhan, formerly of the War Soul Hall and now a high-ranking member of the Tian Hao Alliance! Tang Baizhan said to the Dou Wang player beside him, "Hey, Old Xu, I thought you went to join Sect Master Yun Yun!"

Old Xu laughed and said:

"Leaving is inevitable; one day I will have to leave the Jia Ma Empire. But I must avenge Xuan Elder Xuan Elder."

At this point, Old Xu's eyes reddened a little:

I want to thank her in person before I leave.

Tang Baizhan patted Old Xu on the shoulder:

"Me too. I have a junior brother named Bai Jian. Last time at the Spirit Terraces, I couldn't protect him."

Xuan Elder has an excellent reputation in the Misty Cloud Sect. She is considered to be very responsible towards the players, and many players have received her care before they were able to stand on their own.

There are many NPCs like Bai Jian, who are even less noticeable in the Misty Cloud Sect. Many of them accompany players from the outer sect to the inner sect. Reviving a low-level NPC like Bai Jian may not require too many resources, but the spiritual plant "Soul Condensing Flower" is quite rare and players need to spend time searching for it.

Yang Shan walked past Tang Baizhan, but Tang Baizhan did not recognize Yang Shan.

After all, any player using the detection function to investigate Yang Shan now will find the following information:

[Mister E - Cheng E] ("Golden; Rising" Character Imprint)

Rank: One Star Dou Huang

Attribute: Thunder

Identity: Yunlan Sect's First Offering (???)

Although the exchange between Tang Baizhan and Old Xu was just a minor incident, it reflects the current gaming status of most players in the game "Battle Through the Heavens".

After more than a year of operation, Battle Through the Heavens has unknowingly become a part of the life experience of most players.

Yang Shan couldn't help but fantasize for a moment.

If one day Ya Fei falls into his arms.

Even if he knew he could revive Ya Fei, he probably wouldn't be able to stay rational and would inevitably go on a killing spree.

Like other players, he had long considered Battle Through the Heavens as part of his life's journey.

Everything was just as Tian Yao Company's goal was: Our company's mission to serve players is to give all players a life experience completely different from reality! Yang Shan activated his Dou Qi Light Wings and headed towards the direction of Resting Grass Forest.

The players of the Misty Cloud Sect will need some more time to gather.

He, "Cheng E," is willing to lead the charge, expanding the territory of the Misty Cloud Sect and slaying powerful enemies. (He's drawing aggro and reaping souls.) Ten minutes later, in the Resting Grass Forest territory.

Countless players are gathering medicinal herbs.

Although Resting Grass Forest is now a shared resource area for the five factions, everything within the resource area must be handed over to the five factions.

However, if players accept the relevant town defense mission, they will receive a bonus: collecting medicinal herbs, which will increase their earnings by 20%.

Therefore, a large number of Alchemist players gather here.

Of course, besides Alchemist players, there are also many top-tier players stationed here.

This even included players from the Heaven Flame Alliance and Meteor Association, two major guilds that had just returned from the Black-Corner Region a few days prior.

Because Resting Grass Forest is a large resource point, both guilds attach great importance to it.

The Heaven Flame Alliance appointed its Vice President Li Batian, as its highest-ranking official.

The Meteor Association sent Mei Yangyang instead.

Since the two guilds are allies, Li Batian was also chatting with Mei Yangyang.

Mei Yangyang said angrily:

"That player called ' Gynecology Research Specialist' is really despicable. He can make a joke, but other players have to take it seriously. They actually thought my WeChat name had parentheses that said 'flying nationwide' in it! I can't even be bothered to reply to his private message asking for my WeChat. He's just like someone who'll destroy what he can't have!"

Li Batian asked in confusion, "Didn't you confront him? At the very least, shouldn't you have made him clarify things?"

Mei Yangyang: "I did contact him. He sent an apology letter, and I even hired online trolls to bump the post, but it still didn't get going. However, the guild leader is going to help me clarify things again after the version ends. Humph! Although I, Mei Yangyang, am a womanizer, at least I'm a good girl in my behavior and I never do anything inappropriate!"

Li Batian: "But I saw you touching Liu Qing's abs not long ago."

Mei Yangyang glared angrily:

"Please don't take gaming behavior out of context! I'm timid and submissive in real life, but can't I even have some fun in the game?"

Before Li Batian could reply, the two seemed to sense something at the same time and looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue with white clouds, but one cloud appeared to be a bit dark.

Li Batian Mei Yangyang simultaneously took out their Thousand Mile Gaze and looked towards the dark area.

It has a typical bird silhouette, but its tail is adorned with several long, slender feathers.

Li Batian: "What a black bird!"

Mei Yangyang: "Didn't you see those feathers? It's not a bird, it's Phoenix! Hey? Are there black Phoenix?"

Li Batian: "Regardless of whether there is a black Phoenix or not, in the current version, there shouldn't be such an outrageous existence Phoenix, right? Phoenix should at least be Eighth-Rank Magical Beast!"

This Black Phoenix was, of course, the form that Yang Shan condensed using Dark Soul Mist.

Now that he's a member of the Soul Hall, he should naturally act with the arrogance befitting a member of the Soul Hall!

So Yang Shan thought of using Dark Soul Mist to create a "mount" to make his appearance more stylish.

He originally wanted to condense a dragon.

However, the amount of Dark Soul Mist is insufficient.

So a Phoenix was formed.

However, Yang Shan's level is still relatively low, and the Phoenix only has a general outline and is far from being lifelike.

But it's definitely enough to show off.

Yang Shan lowered his flight altitude, cleared his throat, and used the secondary effect of "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" to make his voice echo across the sky, "What bullshit Five Directions Alliance? My Misty Cloud Sect is going to dominate the Jia Ma Empire. Do you think you stinking fish and shrimps can stop me?"

"As the Yunlan Sect's First Offering Sect, I will teach you a profound lesson today! I will massacre the Resting Grass Forest! Hehehe!"

Mei Yangyang panicked. "Who is this person? What is the Yunlan Sect's First Offering? His smile is terrifying!"

Li Batian was extremely excited. "Holy crap! Hehehe! It's from the Soul Hall! It's someone from the Soul Hall! Brothers, follow me, our chance to make a name for ourselves has arrived!"

Mei Yangyang breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Oh, so you're from the Soul Hall! Sisters, let's go! Let's kill the Soul Hall's lackeys!"

Li Batian Mei Yangyang showed no fear whatsoever towards the "people of the Soul Hall".

Before this, the "Soul Hall NPCs" of the Four Great Empires all appeared as hidden forces like the "Azure Cloud Association".

In version 1.3, the Azure Cloud Association was wiped out by players from the Jia Ma Empire, and the remnants went to the Misty Cloud Sect.

Tian Yao Company's design is essentially aimed at providing players with a better gaming experience.

But this also gave players a misconception.

The Soul Hall is indeed very powerful, but in the Jia Ma Empire, apart from Protector Wu, the other members of the Soul Hall are all "walking experience points"! Based on the past misdeeds of the Azure Cloud Association, the five forces have long offered a bounty: five times the Contribution Points for killing members of the Azure Cloud Association!

Seeing Yang Shan, Li Batian was overjoyed.

In this version, Azure Cloud Association hiding in the Misty Cloud Sect, making him extremely difficult to find! Now that you've finally found someone willing to die, shouldn't you hurry and grab them? Yang Shan is having a headache.

Li Batian Mei Yangyang are really brave!

Didn't you see the awesome Black Phoenix at his feet? Didn't you see his name on the panel shining in gold, and even had a "title" in it? Didn't you see the parentheses in the identity section filled with question marks? What's wrong with you!

This impressive entrance and this awesome stats, are they really just treating it as "experience points" in their eyes?

Yang Shan should teach Li Batian Mei Yangyang a lesson.

Two consecutive uses of "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger" unleash an Finger Strength Overload!

This widespread Finger Strength Overload directly engulfed Li Batian, Mei Yangyang, and the more than fifty Dou Wang players they brought.

The damage, reaching a staggering 70,000 points, shattered the players' Dou Qi Armor into pieces.

Only Li Batian, relying on his Nine-Star Dou Wang level and the Dou Qi Armor with the highest defense bonus of Earth Attribute, was able to withstand this attack.

However, most of the Vitality Shield was also depleted.

The most unlucky one was a Two-Star Dou Wang with Wind Attribute. Perhaps his Dou Qi Armor was too fragile and couldn't withstand much damage; Yang Shan wiped out his health as well! Yang Shan cursed inwardly:

"Damn! How can it be so weak?"

Yang Shan wouldn't stoop so low as to exploit his allies, so Yang Shan had no intention of killing them.

Unfortunately, his allies are really not up to par! Li Batian's face:

"What an amazing Dou Technique! It must be at the Earth Rank!"

Mei Yangyang, on the other hand, appeared very confident:

"Earth-rank Dou Technique consume a lot of energy. How many times can a One Star Dou Huang use them?"

Li Batian wholeheartedly agreed, "Mei Yangyang, your analysis is very correct, but to be on the safe side, we shouldn't give him another chance to unleash this Dou Technique. We should take advantage of the moment he activates Dou Technique to deliver a powerful blow!"

Yang Shan: "."

Seeing that Li Batian Mei Yangyang were about to attack again, Yang Shan had no choice but to unleash another Finger Strength Overload, cursing inwardly:

"Are you blind? Are you all blind? Look carefully, my Dou Technique are instantaneous, okay?"

Another large-scale explosion that killed more than 70,000 people.

Well, that's it. Half of the fifty-odd Dou Wang players are gone in an instant.

It's not that Yang Shan is ruthless and kills even his allies.

What can you do when your allies are rushing to their deaths? "Retreat! Retreat now!"

I can let it go that I didn't see the Finger Strength Overload clearly because I was too far away.

If you still can't see it clearly this time, then you must be blind!

What kind of Dou Technique can blast a whole area apart with a flick of the finger?

Mei Yangyang's voice became much sharper. "Sisters, the wind is blowing hard, let's get out of here! This Mister E is strange! Strange!"

Li Batian Mei Yangyang arrived full of ambition, only to flee in disgrace.

Their actions were justified.

However, a large number of players activated their Dou Qi Transformation Wings, becoming "rebels".

"Isn't that Mei Yangyang? She's quite pretty, but her chest is too flat."

"The Li Batian Dou Qi Armor was broken? He's a tough opponent."

"What's there to be afraid of? We finally ran into someone from the Soul Hall, so we have to kill him no matter what. Back then, I ran away before I even had my fill of killing at the Azure Cloud Association. I had no backbone at all."

In version 1.3, the number of players who could become the Dou Wang across the entire server exceeded 100.

We are now in the late stages of version 2.0.

In this version, all main players are going all out to reach the Dou Wang Fighters level.

You can't call yourself a top-tier player unless you've reached the Dou Wang.

Early-stage Dou Wang is first-rate, mid-stage Dou Wang is super first-rate, and Top Player are all late-stage Dou Wang, and are currently striving to reach the Dou Emperor level.

The player base is too large. Even though top-tier players are already one in a thousand, the number of players in the Dou Wang version is hundreds or even thousands of times greater than in the previous version.

Yang Shan's vision was filled with colorful Dou Qi Light Wings.

Yang Shan was too lazy to count how many Dou Wang players there were.

But there will still be at least seven or eight hundred people.

Top-tier players are not just lowly mediocre players; they are far superior to mainstream players in both skill and equipment.

Many players are already unleashing their Dou Technique to attack Yang Shan.

The "Black Phoenix" beneath Yang Shan's feet transformed back into mist, covering the Dou Qi Armor.

When playing "mowing down enemies", Dark Soul Mist is far less efficient than Overload.

It's more suitable to use it for defense and to increase fault tolerance.

All the ranged Dou Technique that were thrown at Yang Shan were of the Xuan rank, and many of them should have Purple Word Seal.

Released from the hands of Dou Wang player, its power is quite formidable.

Unfortunately, Yang Shan, who was prepared in advance, activated "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" immediately.

While Dou Qi does move quickly, it's still slower than Yang Shan in his current state.

As long as Yang Shan didn't want to, none of the Dou Technique used by these Dou Wang players could hit him! 1.5 seconds later, Yang Shan appeared at a higher position and unleashed twenty consecutive "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger" attacks! Two Finger Strength formed a combination.

Ten times the Finger Strength Overload, pointing to different directions.

The vast majority of the Dou Wang players who were besieging Yang Shan were engulfed by the explosion.

These players finally understood why the top leaders of the two leading guilds, Li Batian Mei Yangyang, had fled.

Is this even One Star Dou Huang? What One Star Dou Huang would randomly use a Di-rank Dou Technique as a Yellow Tier Dou Technique?

These Dou Wang ' Dou Qi Armor was either mostly depleted or directly shattered.

"Damn! Something's wrong!"

"This is a really big problem!"

"My 60,000 points of Vitality Shield were wiped out in an instant! What kind of damage is that?"

"Instantaneous Earth-Rank Dou Technique!"

"Damn, no wonder the Heaven Flame Alliance and the Meteor Association both withdrew. This NPC is definitely not some ordinary nobody from the Soul Hall!"

"Could it be that he, Protector Wu, deliberately concealed his identity to help the Misty Cloud Sect?"

"Very likely! I participated in the operation to kill Yun Leng before. Although Yun Leng Yun Leng escaped, his combat power as a purple-level Three Star Dou Huang might not even be half that of this Mister E!"

"How can that be the same? This Mister E is "Golden; Rising" Character Imprint! Even Gu He only has a gold panel!"

"What do we do now?"

"We'll have to deal with this! This is a tough one; if we don't back out, we're doomed!"

"Brother, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

With just one move, Yang Shan made over seven hundred Dou Wang players want to back down. His power made all the players present lose the will to continue fighting.

But whether these Dou Wang players can leave is another matter entirely!

Many Dou Wang players retreated from the aftershocks of the Overload explosion. Looking up, they saw Yang Shan, his body emanating black smoke, not far away! To the bewilderment of these Dou Wang players, Yang Shan unleashed another twenty consecutive shots of "Cloud Piercing Flicking Finger"! For a moment, there was no more conversation in the sky.

Yang Shan a grand fireworks display to send 632 Dou Wang players to the resurrection point.

As for the lucky Dou Wang players who weren't affected by the explosion, they were terrified and desperately flew in the opposite direction from Yang Shan, their buttocks clenched tightly.

That's really terrifying!

These Dou Wang were quite experienced; when they fled, they each flew in different directions.

If we were to pursue them, the kill rate would be too slow.

Yang Shan sighed, "Tsk, that's a bit too little! Let's go harvest some more of the Dou Ling's chives."

Yang Shan turned his gaze to the ground.

Top-tier players have already reached the Dou Wang, but mainstream players are still striving to Dou Wang it.

They couldn't use their Dou Qi Transformation Wings, so they could only stand on the ground and watch the fireworks booming in the sky.

"This fireworks display costs money."

After muttering something to himself, Yang Shan used his sonic technique to amplify his words again. "Everyone here will die today! Hehehehehehe!"

Yang Shan himself got so into acting that he became completely absorbed in it.

This feeling, akin to "overwhelming the world with one's own strength," is truly exhilarating! With the illusionary magic of the Sea Heart Flame, both the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and the Sea Heart Flame changed color.

With the recovery of Sea Heart Flame, Yang Shan's ability to sustain combat has been greatly enhanced.

Yang Shan silently said "Thank you Han Feng" in his heart, and then unleashed another Finger Strength Overload, which exploded into the sky!

It's July, and version 2.0 is coming to an end.

Sky needs to focus its energy on writing a series of "exciting" stories!
